The Framework Agreement was grounded in the Transformative Change Accord: First Nations Health Plan (2006), the First Nations Health Plan Memorandum of Understanding (2006), the Tripartite First Nations Health Plan (2007), and the Basis for a Framework Agreement on First Nation Health Governance (2010).
